A kind of method improving polypropylene suspension graft acrylic acid percentage of grafting
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of polypropylene suspension graft acrylic acid, more specifically to a kind of method improving polypropylene suspension graft acrylic acid percentage of grafting, belong to polymer chemistry and technical field of polymer.
Background technology
PP is the important a member in five large general-purpose plastics, because having excellent mechanical property, relative low price simultaneously, therefore development rapidly, its output and the production capacity trend still in steady-state growth, the new variety of PP emerge in an endless stream, except traditional PP plastics simultaneously, many high-crystallinities, the extraordinary PP of high melt flowability is also constantly expanding its use range.But PP molecular-chain polarr is low, with difficulties such as the high molecular alloying of polarity, bonding, printing, dyeing, limits it and apply further.In order to improve the polarity of PP, can meet the demand that plastics market increases fast to high value added product, domestic and international PP actively opens up new high-performance, multi-functional kind by the means of modification and compound.
PP method of modifying mainly contains copolymerization, blended, crosslinked and graft modification etc., and existing graft-modification method is mainly divided into fusion-grafting, solution graft copolymerization, solid phase grafting etc.Wherein fusion-grafting application is more extensive, but process of grafting is carried out in screw extrusion press, residence time of material is short, product graft rate is lower, temperature is more than PP melt temperature, and the grafted monomer that only suitable boiling point is higher and degraded is serious, comprises a large amount of unreacted monomer and initiator in product simultaneously, be difficult to remove, affect the use properties of product.Solution graft copolymerization temperature of reaction is lower, and side reaction is few, and palliating degradation degree is light, and products therefrom percentage of grafting is also higher, but a large amount of organic solvent of reaction needed consumption, and production cost is high, and postprocessing working procedures is complicated, and environmental influence is larger.Solid phase grafting utilizes interfacial agents to carry out swelling to PP particle surface, and grafted monomer and initiator carry out graft reaction by surperficial swell layer.The method temperature of reaction is lower, and solvent-free recovery problem, receives much concern, but the method graft reaction layer is shallow, reacts uneven, and in simultaneous reactions process, material easily coheres the group of connecing, and conduct heat uneven, product quality is wayward.In addition, the method is high to equipment requirements.
Occurred Suspension Graft method in recent years, it is low that this method provides a kind of energy consumption of reaction, and reaction conditions is gentle, and solvent load is few simultaneously, and product graft rate is higher, and product postprocessing is simple, the graft-modification method that production cost is low.But the document that the method is delivered is also few, and technology is not yet ripe.Publication number is that the patent of invention of CN1884326A adopts a kind of porous PP particle, and porosity 0.14-0.44 carries out Suspension Graft modification, carries out the graft polymerization of multiple olefin monomer in inorganic salt solution.The method mainly utilizes porous PP particle to have larger specific surface area, carries out graft polymerization reaction in solid-liquid interface, is thus difficult to obtain high percentage of grafting and stay-in-grade graft product.Publication number is that the patent of invention of CN1613887A employs dimethylbenzene and does to carry out swelling to the non-crystalline region of PP, and product graft rate is improved a lot.But Suspension Graft temperature of reaction, below the boiling point of water, directly cannot destroy the crystalline region of PP, and for the PP of high-crystallinity, non-crystalline region proportion is little, under the swelling action of interfacial agents, be difficult to the graft product obtaining high percentage of grafting.
The technical issues that need to address of the present invention are the Suspension Graft method of modifying for high-crystallinity PP, overcome the above-mentioned defect that prior art exists, provide a kind of and effectively can improve the method that degree of crystallinity PP carries out graft modification.
